An Integrated Approach to Alcohol and Drug Addiction Treatment

Caron Treatment Centers is a provider of integrated behavioral health treatment. We blend addiction treatment with the latest evidence-based practices and historically proven treatments in medicine, psychology, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, 12-Step integration, motivational interviewing, and positive peer culture. Our approach also includes spirituality, health, fitness, nutrition, and education for patients and their families. We apply a multi-disciplinary, integrated approach to help every individual recover from substance abuse and heal holistically.
